Thanks, Nammu!
I am sorry you had suffered these headaches. It had to be especially challenging as a child.
The relationship of one diagnosis to another is very interesting. I had not heard of actual tonic-clonic seizures in relationship to migraine activity; yet, it only makes sense.
It is interesting as to what is happening with the brain when a migraine occurs. I think there are likely different types of causes. Any given migraine is likely to have multi-factorial causes: Vasospasms, seizure activities, genetics, hormones, exposures to "toxins" (environmental sensitivities), reactions to sounds, lights, foods, meds, aberrant immune responses, and more.
This is all all very complex. I find it interesting. Despite all of the studying on the part of passionate neurologists, it is still a bit of a mystery.
I am glad both the migraines and BP have gotten better for you, Nammu!
